- How to Find Gold Locations In Victoria.
This video is a tutorial on How to find Gold Locations in Victoria using GEOVIC, provided by the Victorian Government. GEOVIC is an interactive mapping tool that provides a multitude of information in "thematic layers" . It can also be used in conjunction with Google Maps.
I give a Step-by-Step demonstration of accessing and using GEOVIC to find Gold locations in Victoria. I also demonstrate how to make my own "Gold Prospecting Map" using GEOVICs unique detailed "Leads and Workings" overlay. Research is essential to achieving success in the Goldfields, and GEOVIC is an excellent open source research tool for prospectors.

Thanks so much for sharing! Bought my first metal detector two days ago. Spent about 6 hours digging trash so far 🤦♂️.
It seems like GeoVic has changed the website a bit but this video makes it a LOT easier to understand. Thanks Aussie Bloke!
Yep..it has a bit. You're welcome mate. Regards Aussie
Wow, I wish this was around in the late 70s/early 80s. It took me months to cross reference areas from historical documents for nugget locations against geological maps until someone told me that the old records used Parish names for locations. Seeing your diggings overlays took me straight back. To the point I may start doing detecting again, but I am not sure if I can endure that digging though the HARD soil in central Vic. LOL
Go on...get out there. Regards Aussie
This is fantastic 👍 thankyou for keeping the video up. Couldn't have been more helpful 😁
Best piece of advice on prospecting I've found on TH-cam
Thanks aussie, its helped me find local spots👍
Cheers... Really glad I was able to help out. Regards Aussie
I know it's over a year old, but thanks for the tutorial. Very detailed, and can run/pause/replay this on one monitor, while I fumble about on the map. It appears to have changed a little, but that's just a matter of checking all the menus to see what they have added. For a fairly complicated setup, I have a good working knowledge in under half an hour. Some heroes don't wear capes (just assuming that you don't). Cheers!
Great info thank you! I'll be visiting Australia in March 2019 for some gold prospecting videos and this is info will help me find places to swing the detector.
G'day Aussie Bloke, thanks for the video, when I first tried to use that website it made no sense, but now your video has been a great help to work it out, cheers.
Really glad to have helped out. All the best out there. Regards Aussie
and suddenlyeverything is clear...thanks so much...amazing video
Glad to help out. Regards Aussie

Glad you think so... and I'll take it. Might see you out there one day. Regards Aussie

Great video I have just got intrested in prosepcting. Never done a day of it in my life. But I'm learning a lot off your videos. Can't wait to move back to oz and go out and enjoy what your teaching. Is there something like this to find areas in Queensland? I have seen your western Australia videos and now victory. Thanks
www.business.qld.gov.au/industries/mining-energy-water/resources/minerals-coal/online-services/minesonlinemaps
great video
Cheers mate
awesome thank you...
You're welcome mate, regards Aussie
Thanks mate you took MD to the next level for me(so many questions answered!!!)Are those sites(bendigo) approachable by car ?
Your welcome mate...if there are tracks on the map, then I would say yes. Regards Aussie
Love the video. Just noticed though when I search north east victoria like Mitta area that the leads and working details don't come up...or am I doing something wrong. The coloured areas don't appear.
The menus have changed. I managed to work most of it out. An update would be awesome. Cheers
Good video. I like to make sure my Layers are in the correct order, so that everything is visible. In the video, the Public Land Management layer was sitting above the Watercourses layer - this meant that the watercourses were not visible in any of the coloured crown land areas. I always put the Public Land Management layer at the bottom.
Thanks for the tip mate. Regards Aussie
great video as always, will you be doing a video on SA
Thanks mate..RE SA, wasn't going to, but I'll think about it. Regards Aussie
Wow mind blowing hardcore information, This will def come handy when i hopefully soon can head out to Victoria, at the moment as a Swede am stuck in Sweden due to this Covid-19. Are you from Victoria? would be more than awesome to catch up with you over a few beers when i get there, Once again THANK YOU VERY MUCH for this valuable information. Stay Safe and may the prospecting gods be with you. Best Regards Jimmy The Swede.
You're very welcome mate. I am in NSW, but can and often do travel to VIC... who knows... maybe we will bump into each other out there... Regards Aussie
I love you. No change body and face no aggressive. Finish
Great video, just a quick question when you look at the crown land shaded in grey and it has a number on it for eg P105888 what does the number stand for?
To be honest, not quite sure..haven't looked that deep into it. Could be a Prospecting lease number, but most likely a State Forest compartment number. Regards Aussie
Usually is for those who lost their orientation and give rescuers a reference
just subscribed.like your vids.I want to watch all your vids to learn over the next while.I just started MD about 20 hours but I would like to incorporate gold hunting too.How can I use your info for Southern Alberta.It seems like our provincial government is not releasing acceptable Geo information. I understand if you do not have time to help a newbie...no worries eh I will keep researching.
Gold prospecting principles are the same wherever you are in the world mate. keep researching and find a place near you where the Old Timers found gold..that's always the best place to start. You can employ the same alluvial techniques in your part of the world that I use in Australia. Good Luck. Regards Aussie
Thanks Man.The stories are no gold here.North to Saskatchewan River and West into British Columbia called The Caribou. The alberta government Topographical,soil and mineral conveniently hold back the mineral deposits. Thanks again.I will keep digging and study your vids for more clues.
Hi Alan, thanks for a very informative video. A couple of steps in the video were a bit quick, hence the following questions.
How did you take a snap shot of the co-ordinates and how did you move from the geovic screen to the paste screen?
Tony
Hi Alan, disregard my questions. I was able to print prospecting locations with co-ordinates using geovic web page.
It was just a matter of playing with their software to learn how to download the info. Thanks again for the video.
Tony
G'day Tony, firstly, my name is not Alan... Not quite sure how you came to that conclusion. Secondly, taking a screen shot comes down to basic computing skills... Something I don't cover in detail as this info is readily available on Google or any number of PC forums. Most PCs and Laptops have this function and can be found out reading the manual. Most image programs like "paint" will accept screen shots... Again... Read the help files on them to find out how to import your screen shot. Regards Aussie
Hi Dan, I'm puzzeled as well as to how I got your name wrong. Apologies extended. It was paint that I initially had trouble getting into from geovic, but all is good now.
Great videos, keep up the good work.
Tony
The name's not Alan either... Lol
You mentioned that the shallow workings you selected in your example was a good pick because it had a reef nearby. How does a reef mean good shallow leads, and how close does the reef need to be?
Great question mate. Shallow Alluvial leads were in most cases a direct
result of reefs in close proximity shedding and eroding over time. In
fact, virtually every reef the Old timers found, was found by following
the alluvial runs to the source. I would say that any ground that has
alluvial diggings and reef mines within a hundred meters or so of those
diggings would be a great place to start. Regards Aussie
G'day, would you be able to do a video like this but for QLD. It would be a great help! Thankyou.
In the not too distant future I hope to be do a video on QLD.... and every other State and Territory for that matter. Regards Aussie
Hi champion is there plenty off gold out there to find great video
I want to try and get my son out there to do something different than play playstation
The new generation worries me mate great video champion
It's a great hobby... one I think your son will like . Good luck with it all. Regards Aussie
Awesome very informative, NZ has a Crown minerals site but you need to but a prospector licence before you can do a thing.
In short take the Gamble. or prospect illegally
Just get a license mate... not work getting caught. Good Luck. Regards Aussie
Great info there bud, i may have found a new best friend, lol
Excellent. Only if i can ask a fairly novice question. What is the difference between a shallow lead and shallow workings? Thanks
Cheers and excellent question. Shallow workings are indicative of alluvial and or shallow reef gold close to the surface, and as such are commonly found in the vicinity of shallow leads, and often follow such leads in a distinctive line. So a lead is a shallow run of alluvial gold, whereas shallow workings are the result of the mining activities engaged in order to work such leads. Hope that helps. Regards Aussie
Awesome. I was just curious because I've been working from some maps by Stephen Barnham and some locations recommended only show up as shallow leads on GeoVic. Actually as I'm writing this i've just popped across to double check what I'm talking about and i've noticed that north of Avoca and Maryborough there is no shallow workings on GeoVic, only shallow leads. I'm guessing thats not right?
You are correct; whilst Maryborough and other areas where famous for rich Deep leads, there are in fact many locations in those areas where there are shallow workings. For every mine or lead shown on GeoVic, there is usually 10 that aren't. Whilst GeoVic is a fantastic tool, it is not exhaustive and only represents notable or major occurrences and workings. A quick walk on the ground in the vicinity of the shallow leads shown, will reveal where the shallow workings were in those areas. Regards Aussie
Very informative... is there an equivalent for NSW? 👍
Cheers mate. Yep... go here...www.resourcesandgeoscience.nsw.gov.au/miners-and-explorers/geoscience-information/services/online-services/minview
Regards Aussie
Not sure if this is available to registered users only. But there are options to add GPS Coords to any spot you click on the map, you can also add balloon comments which are easier to see and read, the caveat with the last option is you have to first click on the spot you want, write down the coords, then click to where you want the balloon to be, enter coords and click ok. Bit fiddly but once you get used to it, it's easy
Thanks for the added info mate. Regards Aussie
Hello i used the 1860s _1952 expired Mines and leases layer to Mark locations for metal detecting am I on the right track mate ? Thanks for the video has helped me navigate the website a lot better
Absolutely on the right track mate. Any bit of info you can get may just be the "right bit". Good to see you are researching thoroughly. It WILL pay off. Good Luck. Regards Aussie
Thanks for your reply mate🇦🇺👍🏻
Just a quick one for you, is there any way to download the information to google earth (like the KML files exported from Tengraph). Cheers for the help mate.
Not that I'm aware of mate. Regards Aussie
Hi, How did you take the Screen Shot?.
Hi Dan, contacted you here a few weeks ago, was hoping you would be willing to direct me to just a few claims that are up for sale under 10.k and would have some potential for prospecting. Thanks, keep up the great work.
I think you might have the wrong person mate..I'm not Dan. However, if you jump on Gumtree, there are occasionally mines under 10K advertised. Good Luck, regards Aussie
Anybody know what the USA equivalent to GeoVic is?
Inside those grey areas, are their tracks for vehicles, or is it more a case of walking in to that exact GPS location? ...
Lots of 4WD tracks. Google Earth And Google Maps show many of them. Regards Aussie
@@AussieBlokeProspector Okay, thank you Aussie, much appreciated...
hi i just tried to follow geo gov link and it dosn't let me open everything i think its changed from when you did this video cheers lee from melb
Thanks for the heads up. Yes it has changed a bit. Open the "Gold Prospecting" Layer and look for the "Leads and Workings Detail" Tab. Regards Aussie
just been playing with this. The area I have been panning with clear obvious shallow alluvial workings from the old guys does not show on the map. Its good for me so not many people can find it haha
For every mine, deposit, occurrence and area of workings shown on GeoVic, there are probably 10 that are not. The shown ones are great for initial research and investigation and putting you on likely ground. Once on the ground, only footwork will reveal the true extent of previous mining activity. Good for you mate. All the best.Regards Aussie
I'm doing something wrong in paint I'm following what you do but when I click paste no picture is there any help
You should have a key on your keyboard that says "prt sc" and one that says " fn".... Most laptops and pc keyboards do..Press both simultaneously and it will put your screen image on the clipboard.
awesome vid, unfortunately i can't get the map to load on geovic. great job though.
It may just be your browser mate. I use Firefox..works well. Regards Aussie
Hey mate. Great video but having trouble taking screenshot to paste it to paint...Help...Cheers.
Cheers. Suggest you go down to your local PC shop and they show you how to take a screen shot in 5 secs. Regards
Great video mate! I enjoyed that! Added to my late night prospecting playlist thanks! I make videos to if you want to check them out that would be awesome!
+TheFulbrook Cheers mate. Glad you liked it. I'll have a look. Regards Aussie
Dear. How can I determine the country where I live? Thank you
Google answers all
great vid ,but mine wouldnt load up old workings , the red lines ,,,,,,
Like all Govt systems...constantly changing and trying to re-invent the wheel.... I say if it aint broke...don't fix it. I believe Old Workings is still there, but in a different category. Regards Aussie
Hi mate could you tell me the best resource similar to this one for NSW? Cheers
resourcesandgeoscience.nsw.gov.au/miners-and-explorers/geoscience-information/services/online-services/minview
Thank you, legend!
Can you do the same for NSW?
Your question is a little ambiguous.. Regards Aussie
can you give me an idea on where to go cos me dad and i have been out about 15 times and find nothing
Strange question to ask considering that this video is exactly about that..with the info in this tutorial you should be able to find a hundred good locations in VIC. Follow my instructions, put in the hard yards, persevere and eventually you will find some. Good Luck
i have a gold location. but it dificult to take out. because of i have nothing meterial. what can i do??? plizz tellme what i.m gonna do.
Sorry mate, you are going to have to be more specific... not sure what you are talking about. Regards Aussie
Any helo on finding a site for SA
Its in the wind. Watch this space
been trying to find this map on the site any help to how to find it please
Find what map exactly?
where you can and can not prospect in north east vic , yacandandera and beach worth , eldorardo area or vic in general some one sead there is exclusion zones around yackandandera
Follow the Tutorial and Zoom in on NE VIC. Make sure you add the Crown Lands info as shown in the vid. Generally speaking, most State forest in VIC, you are able to prospect in, and in the case of some national parks you are permitted to prospect. Some local councils, like Yack do have exclusion zones. The onus is up to you to check with local State forest and National Parks offices in each region. Also a good place to check the local Information Centre at each town. Regards
ok thank you
lets change the look of that map because one day we gona be the old timers lol
yes...we will be
I registered & guess what? Nothing on the portal can be accessed or viewed.
Thinking this is a bogus site.
